Product Description
A warm and dry summer lead to a concentrated, yet vibrant 2018 sparkling wine vintage in the Willamette Valley. Knudsen Vineyard, protected in the deep volcanic soils of the Dundee Hills, brings supple depth and elegance, while Spirit Hill Vineyard, in the windy and rocky volcanic soils of the Eola-Amity Hills, brings energy and minerality. Orchard fruits, citrus peel, and toasted brioche are framed around a creamy center and long, graceful finish.
Blend: 52% Chardonnay, 43% Pinot Noir, 5% Pinot Meunier

The Willamette Valley in Oregon is renowned for its cool-climate wines, particularly its exceptional Pinot Noir. Winemakers in this region also produce outstanding Pinot Gris and Chardonnay, benefitting from diverse microclimates and terroirs. Notable sub-appellations, such as Dundee Hills and Yamhill-Carlton, contribute unique characteristics to the wines, making the Willamette Valley a premier destination for lovers of nuanced and expressive cool-climate varietals.
Non-vintage sparkling wine, commonly referred to as NV or "Mรฉthode Traditionnelle," is an amalgamation of wines from various years, skillfully blended to achieve a consistent and harmonious flavor profile. Produced using the traditional method, this sparkling wine undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle, contributing to its effervescence and complexity. By intentionally avoiding a specific vintage designation, winemakers have the flexibility to maintain a reliable and recognizable style, allowing consumers to enjoy a reliable and delicious sparkling experience year after year.
